TT1 - BMW Group Dept. of Acoustics & Vibrations

Abstract:The program starts with a guided tour of test stands that are employed for the refinement of acoustics and vibrations. The development process for a variety of individual noise sources such as powertrain or mechantronical components as well as the quality assessment in the interior of a vehicle will be demonstrated. Further, the participants will receive the opportunity to share a ride in the driving simulator to virtually experience different acoustical set-ups for the engine noise. Finally, a lecture about BMW´s acoustical philosophy will be presented including the fundamentals of sound engineering and BMW´s psychoacoustic approach to achieve a maximum of customer satisfaction.
